Despite The Odds Being Slim, Bidding For The Chartering Of Petrobras’ P-78 And P-79 Units Brings Hope To Brazilian Shipowners

Among the main points of Petrobras’ strategic plan, focusing on its resources in the pre-salt and optimizing revenue is a priority for the state-owned company. The latter, as everyone knows, has directly impacted Brazilian shipbuilding, as large projects for the construction of FPSO platforms are much cheaper abroad (especially in shipyards on the Asian continent).

With the bids for the construction of the P-78 and P-79 units launched in 2020 and currently in progress, hope arises that Petrobras will once again look toward national shipbuilding, especially regarding job creation, which is a primary demand for those who are professionals restricted to this sector.

Diversification of Services, Less Dependence on Petrobras

In a not-so-distant past, Brazilian shipbuilding was heavily dependent on demands from Petrobras. Nowadays, there are several projects and technological innovations underway. Some recent examples include:

Construction of 6 More Tugs at the Wilson Sons Shipyard
The Prosub Submarine Program of the Brazilian Navy
Ecovix Shipyard
Navy Frigates Project in Itajaí
Among others that you can follow in the Naval Industry, Ports, and Shipyards section of the CPG Portal.

P-78 and P-79 will be implemented in the massive Búzios field, currently the most important pre-salt asset of Petrobras. They will be high-specification units that will be part of the Basic Reference Project, adopting new technologies and the state-owned company’s commitment to low carbon emissions. The expectation is that these platforms will begin operations in 2025.

Diversification of Services, Less Dependence on Petrobras

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

A city has planted 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants since 2016, reduced the temperature by up to 3°C in some areas, and won an international award for using vegetation to combat urban heat in Colombia.
